You Now Have Choices On How To Treat A Yeast Infection

By Sophia Munoz

If you suffer from chronic yeast infections, then you know how debilitating they can become. Yeast infections can interfere with your daily life if left untreated. But you don't have to suffer anymore.

This article will reveal to you several methods that you can use to cure your yeast infection. Keep reading to uncover how to treat a yeast infection.

If you are looking for a cure for your yeast infection, you can visit your local pharmacy and buy an over the counter yeast infection treatment such as miconazole. This is an anti-fungal cream that is inserted into the vagina for 7 days. The problem with the creams is that they are quite messy and sometimes the cream will cause a burning sensation in the vagina.

Another option that you have to cure a yeast infection is to visit your doctor and get a prescription. This is a single pill that can get rid of your yeast infection for good. One dose is usually all it takes to zap your yeast infection.

If you don't like to take prescription medicines, there are natural yeast infection cures that you can use. Try eating a serving of yogurt once a day, every day. This will help to build up the natural bacteria needed that will keep the growth of yeast under control. Just make sure the yogurt you choose has live acidophilus cultures.

But there is a different way that you can use yogurt as a natural yeast infection treatment. Try dipping a tampon into some plain yogurt. Do not use flavored yogurt or yogurt with fruit in it. Once you have the tampon covered with the yogurt, insert it into your vagina and leave it in place for a couple of hours. You can do this before you go to bed and leave it there overnight if you wish. This will help to reduce the overgrowth of bad bacteria in your vagina which feeds the yeast. This method can be repeated as many times as you wish.

A garlic clove is another method you can use to treat a yeast infection. All you need to do is to get a whole clove of garlic and peel away the outside skin. Wrap the garlic in a piece of olive oil soaked cheesecloth. Tie a sturdy string around one end of the clove for easy removal. Just insert the wrapped clove of garlic into your vagina. Since garlic has natural anti-fungal abilities, it is the perfect choice to fight off a yeast infection. Obviously, the garlic smell may be an issue, so you may want to do this overnight.

Learning how to cure a yeast infection is easy. Choosing the right method for you may be a little harder. Just experiment and find the best one that works for you.
